Stage Your REVOLT in Sprints

You say you want a REVOLUTION? Surprise! Not so fast! You have to start by setting smaller, believable and achievable goals.

A lot of us want to change ourselves, our careers or our communities in a year. But, a REVOLT of that magnitude – a Big SMART Goal – can be daunting if you don’t set certain smaller goals, increments and benchmarks to hit along the way.

While a Big Goal, like a Big Cause, requires the dedication of a marathon or a fighting army, you don’t have the resources for that (unless you’re Hillary Clinton or Angela Merkel). All the more reason to set goals that can be accomplished in sprints of a few weeks, a month, several months.

Staging a REVOLT involves specific measurable goals you want to achieve, plus a strategy for achieving them, especially if you’re the one who’s a dictator. If you’re trying to do too much, with too little time, or always for other people, that requires a different kind of REVOLT. It requires a re-envisioning of what you want to become, in light of what you have to deal with now, rather than focusing on where you were in the past.

As a visionary, intelligent, motivated woman over 40, when was the last time you REVOLTED against trying to fix the past and instead DARED to envision a great future?Tell us about it – we DARE You!
